First, let me congratulate you on a GREAT FIND!

While my pictures are NOT from a 'bigger and better' camera, I offer them
for size perspective.  I took these two pictures with a digital
'point-and-shoot' Canon A570 IS camera from the car window in 2006 near
Reno, NV while on a business trip (never leave home without your camera!).
The bird is perched on a metal fence post that supports barbed wire to give
you some size perspective.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Pics of Darke Co. Burrowing Owl

Below is a link to some photos I got of the Burrowing Owl spotted in Darke
County this afternoon (June 24, 2008).  Again, there was a delay in a post
of this importance as we needed to speak with the land owners prior to
making it public.  The photos aren't 'great' but they do the job.  I'd love
to see some photos from people out there with a "bigger & better" camera!

Happy Birding!

"We need another and a wiser, and perhaps a more mystical concept of
animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We
patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having
taken a form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more
complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions
of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall
never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other
nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners
of the splendor and travail of the earth."
-Outermost House by Henry Beston-
